    It really is addicting! I broke a few windows with one back when this was a brand new item on the market and everyone thought that it was just a cheap plastic toy. It's anything but a toy... it really works and once you use it, you can't wait to use it again...even if it's not completely necessary...lol.

    I bought three and gave them as Christmas gifts to family members. This is an excellent compact tool for non-law enforcement, and emergency responders of all stripes.

    A great "extra" to have access to. Works well when used correctly. The cutter must be pulled against a tight strap for clean cuts and the window breaks must be struck with a good deal of force. Most officers using one for the first time tend to "baby" that first or second strike before finally breaking the window.

    They also didn't mention that it has a blade on it near the bottom of the hand grip.... It is great for cutting seat belts...... We tried it out in my buddies junk yard and it works like a charm..... It should be issued gear.

    My car caught on fire and my seat belt wouldn't unbuckle. The life hammer was mounted on the door panel. It saved my life.

    Yes, It does look a little out of place, but our dept put them front and center in each patrol car and We've used them several times in roll-over wrecks.

    Works even better than you'd think.

    This model is the better one of several availible.
